I'm trying to get TRN 3.6 to work with FreeBSD 2.1.5-Release. Everything
seems to work except the posting mechanism. When I try to post via Pnews,
I get the following error:

Check spelling, Send, Abort, Edit, or List? s
tear: not found
cat: /tmp/in3938hdr: No such file or directory
cat: /tmp/in3938body: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/inews: lost news; cat status 1

I've looked through the code and can't find any occurances of "tear"
except in comments and in one string search. Has anyone encountered this?
What can I do to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
